He then continued, "You ought to know that the project that I insisted on pursuing recently, against everyone's opposition, was something Jae had recommended to me. If any of you actually care about the company, you should know how much this project has brought in." Mr. Ward persisted, saying, "It could have been just a stroke of luck." Dad's expression was laced with sarcasm as he said, "You're saying it's just a stroke of luck, huh? You ought to know that Jae had recommended more projects tothan just this. I'll set my pride aside and be blunt with all of you today-most of the projects that I approved of lately were recommended by Jae, and none have resulted in losses." He then looked around the conference with a serious expression and continued, "In addition to that, if it weren't for Jae, would the company have been able to uncover such a corrupt individual lingering in the company? Who among you were even bothered to look into this?" Having said that, everyone in the conference room fell silent.

It's clear, however, that times have changed, and everyone shouldn't be so stuck in their ways. I may be a woman, but I won't perform any worse than a man." Having said that, I felt a piercing gaze directed toward me. I looked over and saw Jack looking atwith a complicated look. He then noticed my gaze and quickly looked away, appearing somewhat flustered.
I merely gave a slight smile, maintaining a calm demeanor. In the end, the whole farce cto a halt due to Dad's defense and my bold declaration.
Those people assumed that I was the sold Jane-someone weak and easy to manipulate-so they tried to driveaway with their harsh remarks. They didn't realize that I had been reborn and had undergone a profound transformation.
In fact, the main purpose of this board meeting was to discuss the future development of Brown Group. In a world where society evolved so rapidly, it was crucial for Brown Group to align with current trends in order to thrive.
Having spent the entire day discussing this, the strategic direction for the company's expansion and the respective details were finalized.
And just before the meeting cto an end, I put forward the idea of securing a brand ambassador for Brown Group.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing my suggestion, Mr. Ward, who had previously been displeased with me, immediately objected, "Is there a need for a brand ambassador? It's not as if we're in the advertising business." I immediately opened my laptop and connected it to the projector, displaying all the data I had prepared beforehand on the screen.
"Having spent so much tin the industry, I'm sure you all know how powerful celebrity influence can be And while we're not involved in the advertising industry, utilizing celebrity appeal could significantly elevate our real estate and foreign trade operations.
"Furthermore, our subsidiaries operating within the fan-based market would also benefit significantly from increased visibility." Upon hearing that, everyone in the conference room fell silent as they seriously pondered what I had just said. Mr. Plinitiated the applause, expressing his full agreement. "I think Jae has made a valid point. If there's demand, there's a market, m sure the company can afford couple million dollars as the endorsement fee. If the endeavor endorsement fee. If th proves successful, the projected returns could be enormous." It was then that Mr. Quelch, who had maintained a relative silence, interjected, "What if it fails?"
In response to that, Dad merely chuckled and replied, "It's only a few million dollars: That's well within the company's margin for trial and error. There's no need to dwell on failure."
Mr. Quelch had intended to persist in his objections, but with Dad stepping yout with in the opposition began to wane.

Mr. Plgently looked atand asked, "Is there a celebrity you have in mind, Jae?"
